Plongée à Egyptian Red Sea — Egypt
The Egyptian Red Sea is a pilgrimage for wreck divers, anchored by the legendary SS Thistlegorm — a WWII supply ship frozen in time at 100 feet with motorcycles, trucks, and rifles still visible in its holds. Ras Mohammed National Park offers some of the Red Sea's healthiest reefs, while the remote Brothers and Daedalus reefs deliver hammerhead and oceanic whitetip encounters. Few destinations match this combination of history, marine life, and affordability.
